OPERATION FINANCE CARES
SOCIETY OF RETIRED
U.S. Army Finance Noncommissioned Officers
RAFINCO
Operation Finance Cares (OFC) is a
project developed by the United States Army
Finance Command (USAFINCOM) to show support to
deployed Finance soldiers. Soldiers deployed
away from home, especially during the holiday
season, often feel lonely. The emphasis of OFC
is to boost the morale of our soldiers and show
them that Finance takes care of their own. The
goal is to provide an opportunity for
individuals in the Finance community and
external organizations (i.e., schools and
churches) to sponsor a soldier(s) by mailing
letters and/or cards.
In previous years, troops from the girl and boy
scouts, several churches, and many schools have
expressed their appreciation of soldiers by
participating in the program. Suggested items:
juice boxes (Hi-C, Minute Maid, Hawaiian Punch,
Capri Sun); store bought, individually wrapped
cookies, chips, crackers; canned snacks;
non-refrigerated (fruit cups, vienna sausages,
pudding, jello); fruit roll-ups, granola bars,
pop-tarts; magazines; paperback books; crossword
puzzle books; word search books; nerf balls,
super balls or other light-weight fun "toys";
playing cards; travel size games; travel size
toiletry items; holiday decorations (small
trees, unbreakable items); New Year's Eve party
items (hats, horns, noisemakers). Anyone wishing
to sponsor a soldier(s) or unit are to contact
Richard Worthy at
richard.worthy@dfas.mil or
